Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a device for easily attaching pouches to both the left and right shoulder straps of an existing backpack. [Background technology]

[0002] Items that needed to be taken out of the backpack frequently had to be put in a separate pouch, which had to be hung around the neck or shoulder or held in the hand. In addition, smartphone pouches had to be wrapped directly around the shoulder straps of existing backpacks with Velcro (see Non-Utility Model Document 1), or attached to a D-ring somewhere on the backpack (see Non-Utility Model Document 2). In other cases, people had to search for and purchase backpacks that already had small item compartments built into the shoulder straps themselves (see Non-Utility Model Document 3). [Prior art documents] Non-utility model documents

[0003] Non-utility model document 1: "A small pouch that can be attached directly to the shoulder strap of a backpack with Velcro." Da Vinci Create Ltd.'s Quick Pouch (Quick Pouch in Seconds) Non-Utility Model Document 2: "A small pouch that can be attached to the D-ring on the shoulder strap of a backpack and hung from it." NoiR pocket non-utility model document 3 by flakes Co., Ltd. "A product with a small item compartment built into the backpack itself" WING SACK by I-pack Co., Ltd. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] It is a hassle to carry a separate pouch around your neck or shoulder containing frequently used items such as a cell phone, coin purse, commuter pass, plastic bottles, tablets, books, etc., in addition to your backpack. Also, when attaching a pouch to the shoulder straps of an existing backpack, it is difficult to do so if the backpack does not have a D-ring or similar on the shoulder strap. Furthermore, if only one point on the left or right side of the pouch is attached to one shoulder strap, the pouch will swing around, which can be a nuisance for large pouches, and only small pouches can be attached. The present invention was made to eliminate the above inconveniences. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] By passing a wire ring through a small gap in the length adjustment fittings (sliding rings, movable rings) on both the left and right shoulder straps of the backpack and connecting the snap hooks at the other ends of the belts attached to the left and right D-rings of the pouch to the wire ring, the pouch can be easily attached to and detached from the shoulder straps of the backpack. Wire rings that are connected with screws on both ends tend to have loose screws, so use ones that are connected with a snap hook or similar. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] It is more convenient to carry items that need to be frequently taken out of a backpack in a separate pouch rather than inside the backpack. As mentioned above, the pouch attachment device of this invention makes it possible to easily attach and detach the pouch from both the left and right shoulder straps of the backpack. Even for a large pouch that can store a tablet, book, etc., swinging of the pouch can be prevented by connecting the snap hooks at the other ends of the two belts attached to the left and right sides of the pouch to wire rings attached to the left and right shoulder straps of the backpack. In particular, when riding a bicycle or the like with a backpack on, the pouch does not need to be hung from the neck or shoulder, so the pouch does not swing around and get in the way. Therefore, you can use your existing pouch as if it were the original accessory that came with the backpack. Furthermore, by using the pouch attachment device of this invention, any pouch can be easily attached to the shoulder straps of an existing backpack as long as it has D-rings on both sides, allowing you to freely choose from a wide variety of pouches in terms of size and design. Gaps in the length adjustment fittings (hook hooks, moving hooks) of the shoulder straps of a backpack are often small, but the wire ring is thin and strong, so it can be easily passed through even small gaps, and no dexterity or effort is required when attaching the wire ring to the shoulder strap. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] 1 is a diagram of a device for attaching a pouch to the shoulder strap of a backpack according to the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a diagram showing the state in which the pouch equipped with the device of the present invention is attached to both the left and right shoulder straps of a backpack. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] By passing a wire ring through a small gap in the length adjustment fittings (sliding rings, movable rings) on both the left and right shoulder straps of the backpack and connecting the snap hooks at the other ends of the belts attached to the left and right D-rings of the pouch to the wire ring, the pouch can be easily attached to and detached from the shoulder straps of the backpack. [Example]

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is the belt that connects the backpack and pouch, 2 is a metal fitting (a hook or movable hook) for adjusting the length of the belt, and large and small snap hooks 3 and 4 are attached to both ends of it.

[0010] Two sets of pouch attachment devices consisting of 1 to 6 are prepared to be attached to both the left and right shoulder straps. First, pass the wire ring 5 through the gap between the length adjustment fittings (shoulder straps, moving hooks) on either the left or right side of the backpack, and connect both ends of the wire with a small snap hook 6 to make the wire into a ring shape. Connect the large snap hook 4 on one end of the belt to the wire ring 5, and connect the medium snap hook on the other end to the D-ring on the pouch.

[0011] Similarly, attach the pouch attachment device to the other shoulder strap.

[0012] The position of the pouch is fixed by adjusting the length of the belt using the belt length adjustment metal fittings (lower rings, movable rings) 2.

[0013] When taking the backpack off your shoulders, remove the snap hook on one of the straps from the wire ring and either connect it to the other wire ring while it is still connected, or leave it hanging. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims

[Claim 1] This tool allows a pouch to be easily attached to both the left and right shoulder straps of a backpack by passing a wire ring through a small gap in the length adjustment metal fittings (lower rings, movable rings) of both the left and right shoulder straps of the backpack and connecting the swivel hooks at the other ends of the belts attached to the left and right D-rings of the pouch to the wire rings.
